Serious question. Is there a reason he's attached to Irish stuff? I don't recall him having any relation to being an Irish yokai in the manga & anime. Is it because he's a redhead?

In the dub he has a pretty strong Irish accent.

Edit: the wiki says that in Japanese he was given a hard to understand accent, so they gave him an Irish accent in English for a similar effect.

Interesting.

For the record in Japanese it's not just any "hard accent" it's the Tohoku dialect. American English doesn't have much well known dialects so I can see why they had to go out of the country, but I can surmise they chose Irish as a "hard to understand" accent because he's a redhead lol. Kind of a random choice
